Summary: a brief statement of the content of the report
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico. Size of country's furniture market

The largest markets for the furniture sector in Latin America have been grouped in this collection of country reports entitled The furniture industry in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico
Mexico and Brazil by far are the largest furniture manufacturers of this area and the main exporters of furniture to the United States from Latin America.
Logistics and proximity to the U.S. market are an obvious advantage driving more than 80% of Mexican products to its northerly neighbour. Brazil has a skilled work force and a number of modernized factories that are trying to become more competitive by offering new products every year and finding alternative distribution channels.
Production in Chile has grown by 8% annually during the last 7 year.
Argentina offsets a part of the decrease of the furniture production with a growth of the ratio imports/consumption.
CSIL reports on Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico together offer an overview of trends and prospects for Latin America, providing information on the furniture production system and the import and export flows by country, as well as information on the factors affecting the furniture potential market and the leading companies operating in it.
